Great experience

We enjoyed the experience very much and lucky with going on a day without many people at the hot pools. There’s good amount of time at the hot pools and there’s shop to buy food and drink there. Bradley they guide provided all the gear including jacket and skirt which kept us warm and made the experience much more enjoyable as it would have been rather chilly otherwise. Also the General Store is an absolutely fantastic place to eat and has great variety of food and drink even for vegans!

We had such a great time - awesome kayak across the lake and so much fun at the hot pools and in the lake. Bradley our guide was great, very informative and fun. I would definately recommend this.

Wonderful unique experience

The trip guided by Bradley was a highlight of our our trip.. He was friendly and informative about local knowledge. Kayaking across the lake to the pools is a unique opportunity to experience with no road access. Loved the contrast between swimming in the lake and soaking in the pools.

Thanks for a awesome trip. So lucky to have to pools to ourselves!

Nice morning kayaking.

It was a lovely trip but the soak in the hot pools was brief like 30 mins, making it an expensive trip. Perhaps if you could state somewhere that time spent in pools is dependent on how fast you can kayak there. I had my daughter kayaking with me and took us longer than 45 mins to reach the pools. Overall a great day.
